Kalvin Phillips' career has been on a downward curve since he joined Manchester City from Leeds United. However, he is still being linked with two Serie A giants.
Phillips was a star for Leeds, who he won the Championship with in the 2019/20 season. The midfielder's form for the club in the Premier League made him an England regular.
He starred for the Three Lions at Euro 2020, which was played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Phillips was instrumental alongside Declan Rice as England made it to the final before losing on penalties to Italy.
A move to City followed in 2022, but injuries and poor form meant that Phillips played a minimal role for Pep Guardiola's side.
Phillips has Champions League and Premier League winners' medals, but has never been a key player in these triumphs.
Loans to West Ham United and Ipswich Town have failed to get his career back on track. However, a move to Italy could be on the cards.

According to Ekrem Konur on X: "AC Milan and Juventus interested in out-of-favour Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips."
Milan are without European football this season, after finishing eighth in the last campaign. However, under Massimiliano Allegri, they have started the new season well and are currently third.
The Rossoneri also have two English players in their ranks, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori.
Juventus are just above Milan in Serie A, where they are second only to defending champions Napoli. Igor Tudor's side is also in the Champions League this campaign.
Juve also has an Englishman in their ranks, Lloyd Kelly, who joined the club permanently from Newcastle United last summer.
Phillips was known as 'the Yorkshire Pirlo' during his time at Leeds, and it could be time for him to join one of the great Andrea Pirlo's former clubs.
